Default Quick Ed Curtis Question

Just making sure I did this correctly. Forgive my newbie ignorance.
Trying to get cam advice from Ed Curtis... He is the man behind Non-Sponsor Soliciting Policy
Correct?
Just fill out the cam tech form, then email, then wait?

Thanks in advance.

--or--
Anyone feel comfortable giving cam advice. I've been searching and researching for weeks but still have some pretty basic [I think] questions

Even if Ed gets back to you, go ahead and lay out what you have here, and you will get good advice. Plus, call Cam Motion for VERY solid cam advice. They are the best around here.

Yes, Ed is super specific and doesn't bullshit or *****-foot around the bush. If you compare his cam forms to others his is way more in depth compared to everyone else's since the last time I checked.

Also, are those decent flow numbers and volume for hand port? Would a better valve job possibly increase the .300 -.500 range . This is just an in-house 3 angle

Titan 3 is always worth mentioning. That grind is MINT. So is Cam Motion.

I should think so. That cam is not overly aggressive, and neither are the lobes. I personally think it idles great. Not super choppy, but that's to be expected since it does not have much overlap. I could be wrong, but wouldent that cam come out to 0* overlap?

Should be good with a 3k and 3.73s in a stock body S10?
Power range seems a little high for street.... maybe not ?

I know its preference over performance but I'm so drawn to a dirty idle ;-)

I had my eye on these specs, but not sure of the core/lobe style.

Any opinions?

Ed does all my cams, exclusively. I've ordered over 15 cams from him, everyone I have been very very pleased with. I email with him quite a bit, he's usually back to me the same day.
